Colonial Capitalism and the Dilemmas of Liberalism

In Colonial Capitalism and the Dilemmas of Liberalism, Onar Ulas Ince combines an analysis of political economy with normative political theory to examine the formative impact of colonial economic relations on the historical development of liberal thought in Britain. Focusing on the centrality of liberal economic principles to Britain's self-image as a peaceful commercial society, Ince investigates some of the key historical moments in which these principles
were thrown into question by the processes of forcible expropriation and exploitation that typified the British imperial economy as a whole.
